Topic: Who do you want? (Read 8369 times)

I'd hate Unsy to be given it if only for the fear he might not do well and ruin his promising reputation.

Whoever the next guy is I feel he does need to 'get' Everton. Moyes did and got cut a lot of slack for it. Martinez only lasted as long as he did as he looked as if he genuinely loved his job and the club. We're not a London club with a diverse fanbase, we're not a corporate club with a large amount of plastic fans like the shite and Man U, we're still in the main a pretty working class club with fans who reflect those values.

I know there are plenty of examples of managers at clubs who don't profess their love and do very well but Evertonians are a weird bunch and if we can relate to the man and can see he's doing and saying things we agree with then we give them more of a chance.

If you were to sit down with Koeman and explain us to him what would you say?

A lot of what has been said. Traditionally working class fanbase, lots of historical success and as such a belief that we should be near the top of the English game (not dissimilar to Valencia in that regard), fans respond to high energy performances, sections of the fanbase love passing football, others prefer more agricultural means. We're a heavily community based club. The obvious stuff really.

We are upset fans, some of whom pay to watch Everton and expect a better style of football. Some of us want you gone, others do not, and there is no way this can be accurately quantified. In other words, we are not representative of the majority of the 35000 fans who have committed to attend all the home matches, in a similar way that irate callers on post match phone ins are representative. In other words it does not matter a fuck to you what we think or say really, but the views of the 35000 who do attend do matter, because their only method of expressing their feelings is their contribution to the match atmosphere, supportive, silent or verbally hostile. That is what the board of directors will take note of. At the moment I would say you are on a losing streak with the crowd. Fix it if you can or the owner will fix it for you. Good luck.

Id honestly give Unsworth a go. He knows the players- especially those coming from the U23s, he'd have the backing of supporters, as people have said he 'gets everton' he'd know how to get the crowd behind them.

We have never been the same since Moyes left. We have a lot of "little" players so maybe the recently sacked Scots manager who did quite well with a team of wee little men, could be in the frame? (I wanted to use the word "dwarfs" but was afraid the PC brigade might get at me).

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.
